DEL.ICIO.USAbel Solutions gives Hands On assistance
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Tech workers have a rep for spending long hours in the server room, in front of the terminal or in the lab, but one of the things we found in launching this feature is that lots of you are really involved in the community.
Abel Solutions, for instance, an Alpharetta IT company, is deeply involved with Hands on Atlanta, the community volunteering initiative, and encourages its employees to get involved in their communities as they see fit.
About 10 of the company’s 17 employees traveled to McLendon Elementary School in Decatur on Oct. 7 to remove overgrowth, plant flowers and shrubs and generally help beautify the grounds of the 48-year-old school.
It’s the sixth year the company has been involved in the annual volunteer day, co-founder Kevin Abel said.
How do you and your company get involved?
